Bob Warren

Bob's music reflects a poetic artistry that is both articulate and evocative. With his roots in the folk troubadour tradition, Bobs writing is surprisingly diverse. From musicals to rock and everything in between, Bob's music shares his humor, wit, and heart. The songs address a wide range of topics: one, a portrait of The Battenkill (the river that flows through his town), another, an adrenaline rush of a song about his former noisy neighbors, yet another written for the AARP crowd. Social commentary about the peace movement, born again philosophy, and the ongoing debate following the shooting in Newtown, CT also play a role in Bobs writing. Then, there are the catchy, soulful tunes that just feel good like a summers day at the beach!
A songwriter of many styles of music, Bob's songs have been recorded by blues guitarist and singer Joan Crane, pop singer Mallory O'Donnell, and reggae/R&B singer Minna Lee. He has received funding from The New York State Council on the Arts to write music for
dance/dramatic presentations, and has written songs for radio spots for The U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Bob's 2018 release, "My Town," is a collection of songs about his home town and his life there. He received a state grant to write songs about his community - a recorded history of the town - and three of the songs on the album come from that project: "Dunbarton," "Four Leaf Clover," and "My Town." Other songs are more personal, but still about his life and his town.
